3. Geothermal Energy Systems: The scope of this task group is to address district systems and revise current provisions to update and comply with requirements from other industry standards.
4. Net Zero: The scope of this task group is to generate guidelines for net zero through the use of renewable energy systems, reduction of energy demand, and increased system efficiency.
